 a first surface configured to contact one side of the laundry hung by the fixing member; and 
 a second surface configured to contact another side of the laundry. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the laundry is pressed by closing the second laundry treating chamber. 
     
     
       3. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first surface is arranged at any one of the door assembly or the assembly door, and
 wherein the second surface is arranged at the other one of the door assembly or the assembly door, positioned opposite of a base plate with respect to the laundry. 
 
     
     
       4. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second surface is disposed at the assembly door. 
     
     
       5. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second laundry treating chamber further comprises:
 a base plate arranged at any one of the door assembly or the assembly door, and having the first surface; and 
 a press plate arranged at the other one of the door assembly and the assembly door, positioned opposite of the base plate with respect to the laundry, having the second surface. 
 
     
     
       6. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the laundry contacts the first surface when the laundry is hung by the fixing member. 
 
     
     
       7. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is arranged at the door assembly, and
 wherein a fixed member groove formed at the assembly door to accommodate the fixing member. 
 
     
     
       8. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the assembly door is arranged in the front direction of the door assembly. 
     
     
       9. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a front side of the assembly door forms a front exterior of the laundry treating apparatus. 
     
     
       10. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a cabinet hinge rotatably connecting the door assembly with the cabinet; and 
 an assembly hinge rotatably connecting the door assembly to the assembly door. 
 
     
     
       11. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising a steam moving unit moving steam generated from the steam supply to the second laundry treating chamber, wherein the steam moving unit comprises a steam path arranged at an inner side of an assembly hinge. 
     
     
       12. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second laundry treating chamber further comprises:
 a partition plate arranged between the door assembly and the assembly door, hinge-fixed to any one of the door assembly or the assembly door, 
 wherein the first surface is arranged at any one of the door assembly or the assembly door, and 
 wherein the second surface is arranged at the partition plate. 
 
     
     
       13. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the fixing member is arranged at any one of the door assembly or the assembly door. 
     
     
       14. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the fixing member is a first fixing member arranged at the door assembly and configured to hang a first laundry, and
 wherein a second fixing member is arranged at the assembly door and configured to hang a second laundry. 
 
     
     
       15. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the first surface is configured to contact one side of the first laundry hung by the first fixing member,
 wherein the second surface is configured to contact the other side of the first laundry, and 
 wherein the second laundry treating chamber further comprises:
 a third surface configured to contact one side of the second laundry hung by the second fixing member, and 
 a fourth surface configured to contact the other side of the second laundry and arranged at the partition plate. 
 
 
     
     
       16. The laundry treating apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the second laundry treating chamber further comprises:
 a first base plate arranged at the door assembly, and having the first surface; and 
 a second base plate arranged at the door assembly, and having the third surface.
